Ruud Van Nistelrooy\u2019s undefeated start for Leicester City ended with a devastating 4-0 loss away to Newcastle United. Here is the Leicester City predicted lineup as the Foxes look to pick up some much-needed points against an out-of-form Wolves side in their first game under new manager Vitor Pereira.<\/p>\n
The 4-0 loss to Newcastle saw the Dutchman’s side easily dismantled as injuries proved to leave his side weak. Midfield options of Ndidi, Winks and Soumar\u00e9 were all sidelined leaving an uninspiring pivot of Oliver Skipp and Hamza Choudhury to be started, whilst Mads Hermansen was forced off after 45 minutes due to injury.<\/span><\/p>\n Mads Hermansen once again started in goal with another great performance but Danny Ward was his chosen replacement after the injury. The centre-back partnership of Jannik Vestergaard and Conor Coady kept their places but struggled to contain the threat of Alexander Isak. James Justin and Victor Kristiansen provided the width in defence as the duo have started every game under their new manager.<\/span><\/p>\n Read More: <\/span><\/strong>Leicester City predicted lineup against Newcastle<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The double pivot of Wilfred Ndidi and Boubakary Soumar\u00e9 has been the preferred choice so far but with both sidelined against Newcastle, it was Skipp and Choudhury in the engine room. On the wings, Kasey McAteer and Stephy Mavididi started last time out but with a lack of threat and other options, the likes of Jordan Ayew and Bobby Decordova-Reid could be in consideration. Meanwhile, in the centre, Facundo Buonanotte and Bilal El Khannouss have shared minutes in the past few games.<\/span><\/p>\n With a poor performance at St. James’ Park, questions over the quality of these players have started to begin on whether they are good enough to stay in the Premier League. The points won so far have been enough to keep them two points above the relegation zone in 17th as the visitors Wolves are in 19th, which emphasises the importance of this relegation six-pointer.<\/span><\/p>\n The weekend\u2019s loss saw the 4-2-3-1 formation ever-present but with limited success as the wingers struggled to be a threat. The midfield was also a concern as they lacked creativity and were bypassed constantly<\/a>, leaving their defence exposed. As for the defence, they were okay in the first half and kept the deficit at just one goal to nil but when Hermansen was forced off, the Magpies capitalised and found three goals, which could have been even more.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Leicester City academy to be utilised by Ruud Van Nistelrooy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\nLeicester City\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n
